Bob Ryan’s tribute to Boston Celtics sixth man, Malcolm Brogdon
Boston Celtics legend Frank Ramsey basically invented the concept of the sixth man during the Celtics’ untouchable dynasty of the late 1950s and 1960s, which was then perfected by Boston Hall of Famer John Havlicek.
Now, the award bearing Havlicek’s name for that reason has been earned by a Celtics reserve guard, and iconic Boston sports journalist Bob Ryan has something to say about it.
Ryan shares the story of Malcolm Brogdon, the latest recipient of the NBA’s prestigious Sixth Man of the Year Award. Brogdon’s unique combination of skills and selflessness has allowed him to adapt to various roles, providing his team with valuable support off the bench.
Bob Ryan highlights the former Virginia player’s commitment to the team’s success and his willingness to embrace the sixth man role, which has been instrumental in elevating his squad’s overall performance.
He also delves into Brogdon’s exceptional basketball IQ and his impressive offensive and defensive capabilities, explains how Brogdon’s ability to read the game and make the right decisions on the court has proven invaluable, and more.
